Specs:
u/jamesisbest2 - if you want to be an indie filmmaker, I recommend you avoid Canon DSLRs, or any other still camera with an add-on video feature and a weak codec.
Instead, I recommend a $440 RAW-capable Pocket Cinema Camera to get started - plus an inexpensive manual lens.
You can plug a $15 TRRS lav into your phone and put it on your talent to record audio.
When you save up a little more money, you can get an external battery plate and batteries for your camera, a decent shotgun mic/recorder combo - plus maybe an LCD viewfinder and a pistol grip to make the camera easier to handle.
Here is a picture of my similar BMPCC/pistol grip/external battery rig.
This setup is affordable and will give you the ability to produce cinema quality product.
Here are a few short films shot with this camera:
And several feature films have been shot with the BMPCC, as seen here:
And these Sundance 2016 selections:
There was at least one Sundance selection back in 2015 shot on the Pocket as well:
With RAW, this camera records so much information at 1080p that it still looks good upscaled to 4K, as seen here, here, here and here.
Although Blackmagic cameras have a steeper learning curve than consumer cameras, and color grading in post is pretty much mandatory - the BMPCC is the only 12-bit RAW cinema camera in this price range and much better for filmmaking than a phone, traditional camcorder, DSLR or mirrorless camera.
If you decide to go with the BMPCC, you might want to subscribe over at /r/bmpcc and /r/blackmagicdesign - lots of knowledgeable folks there who can help you get the most out of your new camera.
Hope this is helpful and good luck with finding the right first camera for your needs!
